At this moment, Leo was standing at the side of Ash when he quickly noticed the leader of the Vampires flying straight towards their direction.

He had always been paying attention to the Vampire leader, so he was able to easily notice his action.

Obviously, it was easy to guess what the Vampire leader really wanted to do; it's targeting either one of them. But it is safe to assume that the chances of targeting him were rather slim compared to Ash since all of her actions imply that she's the leader.

Without wasting any more time, Leo quickly pulled Ash towards the place where a lot of people were fighting so that he can use them as a shield.

Unfortunately, they weren't given enough time to arrive in that place since Bland was a 9 Star Mage, hence his speed is a lot faster than Leo and Ash combined together. Though, it gave Chief Lago enough time instead to arrive in front of them.

"Aren't you ashamed of yourself to target someone weaker than you?" Chief Lago mocked Bland's action.

"Tch!" Bland sneered, "As if I don't know that you're just a cover-up to hide the real mastermind of Eclipse village!"

"Oh, then good for you that you have guessed that. Unfortunately, the price is you are now surrounded!" Chief Lago smiled.

Hearing Chief Lago's words, Bland can't help looking around him. It was then at that moment that he noticed the four 7 Star Mages flying up in his north, west, south, and east direction.

Bland became shocked as he didn't expect that the four 7 Star Mages would actually arrive this fast. He had just seen them far away from him a moment ago, that's why he dared to charge towards their actual leader.

"This herbal smell is really annoying to the bone!" Bland can't help blaming the herbal smell all over them. It wasn't really the herbal smell's fault, since he was already trained to not use his sense of smell all the time, he even thought about it just a moment ago. He just didn't expect that these people would actually use their leader as bait.

At the side, Leo also noticed what Bland had noticed. He really didn't expect that Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, Sele, and old man Torre would actually be long prepared for Bland to target Ash.

Turning to looked at Ash, he immediately saw a smug look on her face while looking at him, seemingly saying to him that it's not only him who can make smart plots to fix a situation just like how he had used his Wind Elementals to spread the herbal smell a moment ago.

Contrary to Ash's thoughts, though, Leo only rolled his eyes at her plot.

"Aren't you impress?" Ash can't help asking.

"I'm impressed that you were able to use yourself as bait. What I'm not impressed about though, is that are you really using this kind of plot to compare to mine?" Leo replied while motioning to Ash to look at the current battlefield right now.

Right after, Ash can't help scratching her cheeks in embarrassment. She really did think that being able to set-up a plot to kill the leader can be compared to Leo's plan to perfectly encircle all of the Vampires. Unfortunately, it wasn't comparable to his, as she easily understood that Leo meant to say; it was only because of his plan why she was able to set-up a trap for the Vampire leader.

"You have nowhere to run now, bloodsucker!" Sebastian said, quickly pulling Leo and Ash out of their conversation.

"Look around you, you already lost, so just give up!" Dan added.

"Tchhh!" Bland only sneered at their words. In his opinion, these Hybrids were only lucky that they were able to trap him.

"How about this..." Ash suddenly interrupted, "I'll let you guys all go, but promise me to never attack the Eclipse village again!"

Hearing Ash's words, Bland can't help showing a dubious look on his face. Is this girl really offering him a deal that he would obviously not follow? If she allows him to escape right now, then he would just go back once again, but with more and better men.

"Are you serious?" Bland can't help asking.

"Yes, I'm indeed serious!" Ash firmly replied, "Are you perhaps doubting me?"

"No, no, no!" Bland quickly replied in fear that Ash would take back her words. But, deep in his mind, he can't help but think, "Just like what I expected from people who are ignorant of the outside world. Do they really think I would honor this deal? Foolishness!"

"Just take all of your remaining men and leave!" Ash said in a solemn voice, "Go now before I change my mind!"

Hearing Ash's words, Bland hurriedly nodded his head, looked around to see if they were really serious or not, and after confirming they were, he quickly ordered his men to stop and flew away along with them to retreat.

"I'll be back, fool..." Bland silently whispered.

It was really out of Bland's expectations that this would actually be the last time he could see the Hybrids of the Eclipse village, as they would soon be transferring to a territory somewhere in the Silver Kingdom.

Meanwhile, Sky quickly ordered her men to clean up the place as soon as she saw the Vampires gone from her sight.

"Foolish Vampires!" Leo mockingly commented. Those Vampires had definitely thought that they can still see them when they come back and attack them once again.

"What do you say? Let's begin bringing some souvenirs with us?" Leo quickly asked Ash who was standing beside him.

"Okay!" Ash didn't hesitate to agree. Right now, the Magical resources of the hibernating Twilight Bears were literally similar to a big piece of meat presented in front of them on a gold plate, or maybe a cheery plant they can easily cherry-pick. They can easily begin stealing the Magical resources with them, and not even worry about the Mother and Father Twilight Bears anymore since Chief Lago was already here to distract them and to also handle any possible dangerous situation caused by the desperation of the two 5 Star Magical Beast Twilight Bears.

That is actually one of the reasons why, despite having four 7 Star Mages, Ash still didn't dare openly attack the Twilight Bears. Once those two 5 Star Magical Beast becomes desperate, even if the 5 Divisions have the upper hand in terms of cultivation and number, their casualty rate would still increase by dozens of folds. Obviously, she can't afford to do that, since everyone in the Eclipse village was important to her. Losing them isn't just the same as losing a few numbers of Hybrids. These Hybrids with her were a member of her family, so losing them is the same as losing one member of her big family.

.....

"First team, go to that cave!"

"Second team, that cave!"

"Third team, that cave in our far right!"

"Fourth team, cave far left!"

"....."

At this moment, the entire 5 Divisions were working hard to steal every Magical resource of the hibernating Twilight Bears as they possibly could.

The Tiger Divison and Tortoise Division were currently fighting against those Twilight Bears who were able to wake up. The Eagle Division was currently making a map and marking caves for them to easily work their way around. The Elephant Division was carrying the Magical resources outside the caves and tallying how many they have stolen. And lastly, the Dragon Division is leading the operation in full force.

*Boooooom!

At the very far front of the 5 Divisions was Chief Lago, along with the four leaders fighting against the Mother and Father Twilight Bears.

The Mother and Father Twilight Bear still looked similar to those other Twilight Bears in their look, the only difference is that they're 50 meters big, and the scope of the fog that they are always releasing from their mouth is a lot wider in range and denser in density, too.

*Whooosh! *Whooosh! *Whooosh!

*Booooom!

*Bang!

*Clang!

"Sh*t! Didn't they just say that these two were only in the 5 Star level? Why can't I help having this feeling that they're even higher than our level?" Sebastian exclaimed in astonishment.

"That's only because we can't easily see them through this dense fog!" Dan replied before casting a Flaming Shot spell towards one of the Twilight Bear's shadows that he had quickly noticed.

"Will you watch where you are shooting at? I almost got hit by whoever had sent those Flaming Shot spell!" Sele's annoyed voice suddenly sounded.

"My apologies!" Old man Torre quickly apologized. He can swear that the shadow that he had just seen a moment ago was from one of those Twilight Bears. Since it was big, he really didn't expect it was actually Sele.

"Will all of you just be careful, I almost got hit by Flaming Shot spell that came from two different directions!" Chief Lago warned everyone.

As soon as he heard their conversation, Leo was finally able to understand the current situation inside the dense fog.

Due to the density of the fog, it was so hard to see whether the shadow they really saw was of a person or the Twilight Bears. Moreover, the two Twilight Bears clearly know how to use the shadow to its advantages too, hence further confusing everyone.

"Everyone, get out of the fog now!" Ash quickly ordered. She can also see what Leo had realized.

As soon as they heard Ash order, Chief Lago and the four leaders quickly retreated out of the dense fog.

"Wind Elementals, try to clear out the fog as much as possible!" Leo quickly ordered his 8 Wind Elementals as soon as Chief Lago and the four leaders got out of the fog.

*Whoooosh! *Whoooosh! *Whoooosh! *Whoooosh!

Right after the Wind Elementals used their Wind Manipulation skill, a small part of the dense fog finally cleared out, which was enough for them to see where the two Twilight Bears were exactly located at.

Without wasting any more time, Chief Lago and the four leaders quickly began their assault.

"Here you are!"

"I'm long annoyed by the both of you!"

"Eat my Magic spell!"

"....."
